Teeth Extractions

If you have advanced tooth decay or an impacted wisdom tooth, you may require oral surgery to have them safely extracted.

One of the speciality areas within dentistry is known as oral surgery and this applies to procedures of a surgical nature, such as the extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth. Oral surgery requires additional training in techniques to perform procedures with care, helping patients to be able to use their teeth and mouths again.

Why would you need a tooth extraction?

It is important to always get the advice of a dental professional if you are worried about any of your teeth. Never attempt to pull out your own tooth out at home as this could cause a more serious problem for you.

Crofton Dental Care have the right equipment and sterile environment in which to perform this type of procedure with the utmost care and your recovery can be fairly quick.

What is the process for a tooth extraction?

There are two types of tooth extractions:

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth. In a simple extraction, the our qualified dentists will loosen the tooth with an instrument called an elevator. Then we use an instrument called a forceps to remove the tooth.

A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure. It is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet. We make a small incision (cut) into your gum. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove some of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half in order to extract it.

Local anaesthesia is applied so you don’t feel a thing, and for nervous patients we can offer sedation too.
